Hmm, as for me, it looks like a bulged-up Nokia N70 at first glance, haha :D
But that’s one nice camera though. :) I like the built in fish-eye feature :)

i actually like the design! looks rugged.. hindi na kailangan ng “bumper”

kung gumagawa lang ng celfone ang canon.. may paglalagyan ang iphone!

lagyan mo lang ng sim yan, ok na!

nice…the red one looks cool! I sure hope they create one in white!

Black and silver are too common for a digicam.

save yourself 24,950 (17k at black market) and get the Canon s95 instead. Better in every aspect.
